We would like to invite you to participate in the Context-Aware Recommender Systems Workshop (CARS 2019). The aim of the workshop is to discuss the next generation of CARS and application domains that may require a variety of dimensions of contexts and cope with its dynamic properties. The workshop is held in conjunction with the 13th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2019), the premier venue for Recommender Systems research.

PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION

Submissions and reviews are handled electronically via EasyChair at the following address: https://easychair.org/cfp/cars-workshop2019. Submissions should be prepared in PDF format according to the standard double-column ACM SIG proceedings format. Authors must submit their papers to arxiv.org simultaneously and send the assigned arxiv ID to workshop email address once it is assigned. Failing to send the arxiv ID within at most two weeks from the submission deadline will result in the rejection of the paper.

The ideal length of a paper for the CARS workshop is between 4-8 pages, but submissions have no strict page limits. Although the authors should avoid submitting unnecessarily long papers in order not to overwhelm reviewers.

CARS 2019 accepts original and novel contributions that are neither published nor under review in other venues. Self publishing of the submitted papers in public repositories is permitted and encouraged. We also encourage authors to make their code and datasets publicly available.

Papers must be electronically submitted by 23:59, AoE (Anywhere on Earth) through EasyChair on the 1 July, 2019. The authors must also submit their papers to arxiv.orgsimultaneously and email the arxiv ID to the organizers on the workshop’s email address.

All papers are peer reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee.

Accepted papers are published in the workshop proceedings (published in ACM ICPS) and indexed in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted papers are given either an oral or a poster presentation slot at the workshop. At least one author of every accepted paper must attend the workshop and present their work.
